Thank you @johnsutherland.bsky.social for sending me a copy of The Castle. Given how much I enjoyed Blue and Crossing the Line and how gripping and unputdownable I found The Siege, I can’t wait to get stuck in. Feels appropriate to read with a wee dram of Ballindalloch single malt… 🥃🏰

Just finished The Castle by @johnsutherland.bsky.social. What a cracking read - and set in my neck of the woods! Have tried Tomintoul whisky, must try Ballindalloch now. (Interesting to compare police negotiating with what I remember from HMPS. Lots of similarities, but a few key differences.)

Having been the lucky winner of an advance copy…. “Unputdownable! I picked it up a 9am this morning and put it down at 4:40pm. Fantastic, pacey engaging plot with characters to love and loathe. I adored it!”
